cAsH1ERs SHORTAGE,
A Panhandle oniciai Shows mp Consldcra.
Hu bly, Short, ga u}nyF

CHICAGO, April l5.-The excitement on
the Panhandle road, over the charges Of
conspiracy and theft among employees, has
pervaded the whole system, and the off.
clals arc bringing a searching inquiry to
bear Upon all who are in any way con.
nected with the limo.
The Chicago terminus has also passe,l
through the ordeal Of an investigation.
A little more than three weeks ago Mr.,
R. B. Morris, n travelling auditor, was die.
patched to Chicago, and, with the aid OF
an asslstant from Pittsburgh, began to
check up the books Of 8. J. Doggett, cash.
Ter Of the general freight otlics on North
Halstead street. '1HE ,l-l ...a1 I
Auditor Morris came across many things
in the cashiers books that did not seem
easy Of explanation, and at first attributed
the oddly In bookkeeping to the cashiers
eccentricities. For the last three woeks
work on the books has been carried on
night and day, and before final conclu.
sion was arrived at 1t looked as II the
books would not balance. The inyestiga.
ton will be fniahed to-day, after which
Auditor Morris will leave for Ptsburgh
with Transcript Of the account current
Tor comparison with The company's books
at the general Offices. N.H
Mr.. Morris was seen by reporter, and,
while he would not positively say that
any ono connected with the Chicago
freight Office waa guilty Of wrong doing,
ho intimated that thsre appeared to be a
discrepancy in the cash accoun,a Of Mr..
Doggett Of apparently from $4,000 to
$50, 900. In explaining tho mattor he paid:
II do not want to accuse any one falsely,
and ! am not going to do 1t. Mr.. Doggott
asserts that he has assets to his credit in
the way Of vouchers which he has paid,
and when these have passed through the
General Managers hands at Columbus an.
other voucher will be made out and passed
to his credit, which may balance the &C.
count. As these vouchers amount to
many Thousands Of dollars, it is manifestly
unfair to decide discrepancy before these
accounts are all checked up at Pittsburgh,
The company is safe so far as pecunisry
loss is concerned, and no blame csn attach
to Mr.. E. Z. Loomis, the agent Of the com.
pany hero. l will say that whatever the
outcome ia Mr.. Doggett must retire, and
his bondsmen mnss make good whatever
discrepancy may exist, il any,"
Mr.. Doggeit hss been formally dis
charged from the compsny's employ.

Mr.. Patton eaid he saw the storm cloud
approaching from the West. It resem.

Clnirsville.
In st. ClaiIsvillc the portion that sui
fered the most WAS from Marietta street,
along atain street.-the piks-to Fair
grounds street.-the business portion Of
the place. There il not q building in that
section that ia not injured. In fact, it
MAJ be said that there is not hougr in
the corporation limits that has not sullered
some damage. Owing to the almost
inextricable manner in which everything
was mixed up and the excitsment TINT
prevailed, the procuring OF complete
iist OF tho losses was an impoaaibiity last
night.

this building WAS occupied by

estimated loss, ;f3.50O. The loss on thu
Welday block will reach at least $4,000.
Tho tiat.tte office was in tho path OF the
whirling column OF destruction and one
end was badly cavcd. This building WAS
left in such dangerous condition that it
was not possible to ascertain in what con.
dition tho type and presses were lait, and
Editor Riley wGs not able to pslimate
his loss. The house OF NJ. t. Viii

The cupole OF the old Court house was
carried away; fortunately, but little dam
nye was done TO the handsome new Court

the residence Of Mrs. 6. W. Collins, 517
Waco ave.
The attendance was good considering the
members who were absent from the city.
The responses at roll call were well selected
and appropriate. The program was infor-
NAL, owing to the heat and absence Of mem
bers. Voluntary selections were read and
recited, and were exceptionally fine; espec-
tally that of Mrs. DIR. G. W. Cox, a practi-
cal and original Essay on the Hand"
Miss Wright and Miss Mile Sappenfield
favored the club with some fneiLstrumental
music, and Miss Lille Drukker with de.
lightful song.
Mrs. Mary A. White and and Miss Esther
Drukker, both visitors, recited with pathos
and effect. Mrs. Whites was an original
poem named boy Lost" and was in Itself

Drukker's rendition of "Among the Slain
evinced rare dramatic talent The club was
disappointed in not hearing he reading of

owing to the lateness of the hour.

and from Douglas to Maple on the west
completed the work about noon yesterday.

main where it is at present, the work of ad

the newly made river additions to remain
but so established the line that very few
more can be added without going over the

nounce out of order. The bank was located
near the present bank the pile is from sew
enty- five to enc hundred feet in the river.
Some Of the river 'additionistsn are loud
in their talk against the council in trying to
put stop to the encroachiDg on the river.
They affirm that the council had no right to
act as they did on the subject and mean to go

NORMAL NOTES.
WEDNESDAYS SESSION.


There were a few teachers who either
failed to hear their number at roll call OF
were absent.
The enrolment each day increases.
So does the work.
The same may be said Of the weather.
We are glad that the instructors are be-
ginning to make specially Of pronuncia-
ton. In this particular all need timely and
judicious criticism.
Several late editions of unabridged diction-
aries could be very profitably used.
Reading is receiving marked attention.
Conductor Mcneil seems to regard it as a
much needed accomplishment as well as q
fine art-one which deserves and requires
more (f science.
attention and practice than it receives.
With this view we agree. In our practice
the Professor criticizes US gently. while he
gives us constant encouragement. He is an
adept at facial expression.
Prof. Naylor wins new laurels by the man
ner in which be conducts his natural philoso-
ply. Many useful points we're brought out
and quite number entered into the discus
sion which at times assumed humorous
phase. Prof. Naylor believes in harmonious
and systematic development of the minds
faculties, while fixing the truths
All teachers who have not had the benefit
of normal drills in methods should attend the
institute if only for the benefit derived from
the class in methods.
The new thoughts developed, new plans e1-
planned may save us many sleepless nights
that is if we are conscientious-and we are
told that some teachers are
Prof. Shull talk ed as cody of muscle de-
velopment and exercise as if the thermometer
were not playing around in the nineties.
If he knew that he narrowed up our feel
ings dreadfully, he was to all az pearances in
blissful oblivion of the fact. But we bear
him no ILL will.
Prof. Phillips revived elementa airy princi-
piles in his penmanship class. Though
modest, he aims at accuracy and thorough
ness and is an instructor that daily increases
Ia power and influence over his pupils.
In discussing the questions in the organiza-
ton class there was found to be perfect
agreement-that lack Of harmonious views
existed. Many of the speakers were radi-
cally, Numerically opposed to each other.
As usual, the opposition came strongly from
the distaff side of the house.
Question on object lessons-Is it better to
derive a lesson from picture or from lesson
to draw pictures
Among the visi ors of the day were the
editor of the Republic and ex-County Super
intendents Bruce and Hammond: also Prof.
G. A. Woody of Wellington. This gentle
man is the author of sever al educational text
books and is the president Of the Wellington
Normal University.
We are always glad to have appreciative
visitors.
Exercises today promise to be more enter
tanning and profitable than heretofore.
We are daily expecting to see members of
the city board Of education at the high school
building.

A CHALLENGE.

Sporting Editor Wichita Eagle,
DEAR SIR:-I see by your valuable paper
that you have base ball club representing
your city up in Lincoln, Neb., and judging
from the score in the EAGLE this morning
they represent you in name only, for club
that has one-half the grit Of the average
Wichitaian would not let any club trail them
in the dust to the tune of IS to 7. Now we
are organizing second nine in this town and
if you VIII send your club up here we will
give them good game. Reply early so as
to secure dates. Yours respectfully,
FRANK TANNER,
Sec'y. Benton Base Ball Club.
P. Sour grounds are not enclosed; win
ming club to take 90 per cent. Of receipts
We think Wichita's second nine can get
that 90 per cent. The boys are q little off
color but they play ball.

IOST-A FAMILY.

A gentleman was running around on the
streets yesterday and anxiously inquiring of
the police and others whom he thought might
know, Of the whereabouts OF his wife and
three children. He said he ard his family
were at the depot awaiting the arrival Of a
train which they were to take for Lyons
when he was called away for q few moments
to attend to the checking Of his baggage
When he returned he could neither see his
family nor find anyone able to explain their
sudden disappearance. The only way that
he could account for their disappearance was
that they had taken the north bound Frisco
through q mistake during his absence from
tharn

A GOOD CHANGE FOR WICHITA.

The new time card of the Atchison, Tope-
ka & Santa Fe route taking effect next Sum-
day, August 14th, gives to Wichita three
trains each way, daily. Leaving for the
east the Galveston or Texas train will de-
part at 30 a. m. instead of $50 p. m. as
formerly making the same time to Kansas
City as the train that now leaves at $50 a..
M, thus enabling the business men to use
nearly the entire morning at home and yet
obtain the best service east Of the Missouri
river by connection at Kansas City with the
evening train service OF the various lines
from there. People living along the line
south of Wichita on the Caldwell branch and
Arkansas City division as far south as Pur-
cell, Ind Ter, may leave their homes at g
seasopable hour in the morning arriving
in Wichita to employ the day in shopping,
returning home the same day. In addition
to this morning train the Caldwell train will
leave Wichita at 7:55 p. M, running solid to
Kansas City without change, making morn
ing connections there for the east. The Ar
kansas City train also leaves Wichita in the
evening at sos p. M, arriving at Newton in
sufficient time for connection at that point
with the Colorado and California trains of
the main line. This travel was formerly
routed in the evening by way OF the Frisco
line through Halstead. The service south
ard west bound has been SO changed that the
Texas train will leave Wichita at p. M, in
stead of 6:15 a. m. The mt rning train from
Kansas City arrives at $40 a. m. This en-
ables the people living at points east Of New
ton to make the round trip and spend
the day in Wichita. This train is followed
by another arriving at $50 a. m, which
train makes connection with the California
and Denver train in the morning, thus en-
q bling people in the western part of the
state to come here and return the same day.
1t will be seen from this that the betterment
Of the service mentioned not only facilitates
through business in the saving Of time by
rapid transit and in the addition of better
service by way of Pullman cars and through
coaches in the morning and n ght trains, but
also enables the people from surrounding
counties east, west, north and south within a
radius of $50 to 200 miles to come to Wich-
TIA, do their shopping in the same day with
The loss of but twelve hours. This is the OPP
FORTUNE time for our merchants to extend
The retail trade of the city and to extend
heir busine SIS outside the limits of one OF
jwo cities. Wichita has long been recog-
1ized as a jobbing point, and her wholesale |
,rade crossed the western boundary line of
Colorado and is being pushed south to Texas,
md it now becomes possible to make this the
,reat retail emporium for the southwest part
IF the state
